About

Chuzai is a Japanese word which means “living overseas for an extended period of time due to an occupational assignment”. A person or family who is doing chuzai is “expatriate” in English. Thus “Chuzai Living” can be translated into “Expat Living”.

We move every two to three years to a different part of the world with my husband’s job. With his current job, we have lived in Senegal, Japan and Washington, DC and currently we live in Indonesia since the summer 2010. We also lived in Kumamoto, Japan, and Austin, Texas prior to my husband’s starting his current job.

I started this blog because I wanted to have a place where I document our life overseas as well as explore my interests and fascination with many things particularly with photography, design, fashion, traveling, food, and parenting and ultimately share them with others. This blog is a place where I can become myself, away from the hectic daily routines as a parent of three small children. Blogging gives me opportunity to appreciate my surroundings to the fuller extent.
